Posted by admin on 29th September and posted in Tips And FAQ
How do you go about teaching the Cyrillic alphabet to English speakers? Is teaching modern (or ancient) Greek different from teaching French–more difficult, different approach, etc.?
are you suggesting that the greek language uses the cyrillic alphabet?
oh, my…
the greek language has its own alphabet, the GREEK alphabet, which was invented THOUSANDS of years before the cyrillic one.
plus, the it was the BASE of the cyrillic and others.
and yes, teaching greek is different than teaching latin-based languages to english speakers. first thing, you must learn the alphabet. then, you continue with the rest.
the grammatical rules are very different from english, but the spelling is easier once you learn the rules and the root of each word.
